We were told 12 years ago by CenturyLink that there would be fiber optic lines to everyone in Klickitat County within a decade. Well, it’s been almost 13 years, and nothing—just more out-of-this-world hijacked (up) prices on satellite internet. Only dial-up speed internet through the phone lines. Why is this the case? Try calling CenturyLink and asking them yourselves. Their answer will baffle you, or maybe make you realize that they have no intentions of providing the people of rural Klickitat County with fiber optic lines for high speed internet (through the phone lines, and half the price of satellite internet).
